Terror re-rewatch, episode 1. Really struck this time round by the contrast in 'manner' between Mr Goodsir (I'm using the mister here for a reason) and Dr Stanley. The historical men had different training (hence Mr - a designation of someone *without* a degree in medicine vs Dr) but also vastly different *experiences*. Dr Stanley was a war surgeon (after his training as a doctor), and per history as well as in Fitzjames' own story in the show, he served in a combat theatre, being the one who saved Fitzjames' life after the Chinese sniper wound. I think that really informs the clever choice they made to cast such an austere looking fella as Alistair Petrie and how he acts -- this is a character that's seen *a lot* of death, and has a requisite coldness about it when David Young is dying. It really contrasts him to Goodsir, who trained as an anatomist and doesn't have a medical degree (and this is his first voyage/service as a surgeon) - how much death has Goodsir actually seen? How much does that inform how 'clumsy but caring' he acts with David Young? So interesting.

The bitch face Stanley makes when Goodsir-RESPECTFULLY- covers up David Young’s face during his autopsy is so fierce. This little psycho said “ok loser” with his eyes and then stood there like he’s watching a boring YouTube video, while Goodsir had to mutilate a fellow crew-mate. AND ALL FOR NOTHING!!!!!!

“It wasn’t your fault, Fitzjames. You never could have predicted someone was gonna su*c*de bomb your party”- my friend after watching this scene
